170M3264

The 170M3264 is an electrical component designed for use in specialty fuses. It is a molded case designed to protect against short circuit current interruption in high voltage and medium voltage applications. It is UL and CSA certified for use in up to 600 volts AC and 600 volts DC applications.

The 170M3264 consists of a fast-acting bimetallic strip which is screwed onto a base. The heater is insulated from the base and provided with terminals for connection. When the ambient temperature rises to a pre-defined level, as determined by the heater, the bimetallic strip contracts, pushing the end of the heater downwards. This moves the heater actuator, pushing the lower contact onto the base of the ceramic tube and shorting it, effectively interrupting the circuit.

The 170M3264 is a reliable device designed to provide fast and effective current interruption in a variety of applications. It is ideal for use in high voltage or medium voltage applications, such as those found in industrial plants, public utility substations, large manufacturing premises, and circuit breaker systems. It has been tested to IEC and UL standards, and is certified for use in up to 600 volts AC and 600 volts DC applications.

In addition, the 170M3264 has a high short circuit capacity and fast response time. The fast acting bi-metal construction allows it to operate at temperatures up to 400°C, and provides reliable operation even under extreme operating conditions. The heater can be pre-stressed for additional current interruption capacity. The device is also designed using an advanced, non-aging surface material which gives it a high long-term reliability.

The 170M3264 is a dependable device providing fast and safe current interruption in a variety of applications. It has been designed to meet the highest safety standards, and provide reliable performance in all operating environments. It has been tested to IEC and UL standards, and is certified for use in up to 600 volts AC and 600 volts DC applications.
